Getting ready for a posh dinner party: Your wife comes down the stairs wearing a red dress and asks if you like it - you agree in the affirmative. Then why does she say "what's wrong with the blue dress?". To which you reply "I love you in your blue dress. To which she retorts "but you just said you like me in the red dress". So you reply "I do, and I also like you in the blue dress, you look great in either". She replies "you are just saying that". You say "no, darling, look, put on the blue dress if it makes you happier. She then storms off to put on the blue dress. She returns to ask if you think this is better. And you say "yes" and she screams "I knew it, you did not like the red dress all along and I loved it...you bastard!"

Why do some people see an admiring glance as a lecherous stare, a smile as a grin, confidence as ego, flirting as harassment and choice as a prejudice?
"Darling", she shouts from the kitchen. "We need to make love, now, hurry!"
"Why is that my sugar-plum?" he replies excitedly dancing down the stairs.
"I need to time the eggs!"
My yacht is definitely a female. She needs loads of money, time and attention to keep her happy. She won't go where I want her to go and her ladyship only follows the course that keeps her happy.
She sulks in the doldrums - yet, when the wind is right, and I am nice to her, she tucks her skirt into her knickers and she flies like a teenager.
She surfs the crests, chuckling through each foaming turquoise wave like a song.
Then we are both happy together.
I will never change her.
Why, as a man, when one is in a relationship every other woman seems to want to flirt with you - yet when you become single you are single alone?
